For the life of me I can't figure out how to get real time updates of what goes on on these pages, so I don't use them much and they are both somewhat quiet compared to other places one can post toki pona messages.

mi la sina jo e nimi mute pi toki pona la ijo suli li sitelen e ni lon ilo len pi ilo nanpa .In my option, if you have any writings in toki pona, it is important to publish them on the internet. Every time a cache of toki pona text disappears, it's like the library of Alexandria burning again because each document in toki pona is such a large percentage of the total corpus.

A collection of recipes? "all-indeed"? A tidied up collection of what you posted on live journal would be most welcome (which much of was food related if I remember correctly).

More importantly, why does "ni li pi moku" sound natural to you? It's in the jan Pije lessons, but it is a construction the community (until today) has universally ignored in favor of "ni li jo e moku" What is the equavallent in your first language?

I guess jan Pije has drilled the lesson in my head. Getting it out is not easy.As for the L1 equivalent, it's "this is about food" (I learned English before Tagalog, whose equivalent is "ito ay tungkol sa pagkain")

I want to give this to this chat room? Oh! You mean you plan to post it on the forum?

Yes! Post a term paper about TP to the forums! I'm not quite sure if anyone in the forums would like to read something in Tagalog, though...

I was going to say, go ahead, I'll just use google translate, but google translate doesn't support tagalog.

I see-- it is one of those constructions semantically similar to "I think about, I write about, I talk about" which else where people have noticed that toki pona doesn't have an obvious solution for. This is a use of "li pi" I could live with.
